 ## Conversation and response generation
 
+The Realtime API is designed to handle real-time, low-latency conversational interactions. The API is built on a series of events that allow the client to send and receive messages, control the flow of the conversation, and manage the state of the session.
+
+### Conversation sequence and items
+
 You can have one active conversation per session. The conversation accumulates input signals until a response is started, either via a direct event by the caller or automatically by voice activity detection (VAD).
 
 - The server [`conversation.created`](../realtime-audio-reference.md#realtimeservereventconversationcreated) event is returned right after session creation.

+To get a response from the model:
+- The client sends a [`response.create`](../realtime-audio-reference.md#realtimeclienteventresponsecreate) event. The server responds with a [`response.created`](../realtime-audio-reference.md#realtimeservereventresponsecreated) event. The response can contain one or more items, each of which can contain one or more content parts.
+- Or, when using server-side voice activity detection (VAD), the server automatically generates a response when it detects the end of speech in the input audio buffer. The server sends a [`response.created`](../realtime-audio-reference.md#realtimeservereventresponsecreated) event with the generated response.

+## Text in audio out example
+
+Here's an example of the event sequence for a simple text-in, audio-out conversation:
+
+When you connect to the `/realtime` endpoint, the server responds with a [`session.created`](../realtime-audio-reference.md#realtimeservereventsessioncreated) event.
+
+```json

+  "type": "session.created",

+  }
+}
+```
+
+Now let's say the client requests a text and audio response with the instructions "Please assist the user." 
+
+```javascript
+await client.send({
+    type: "response.create",
+    response: {
+        modalities: ["text", "audio"],
+        instructions: "Please assist the user."
+    }
+});
+```
+
+Here's the client [`response.create`](../realtime-audio-reference.md#realtimeclienteventresponsecreate) event in JSON format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "event_id": null,
+  "type": "response.create",
+  "response": {
+    "commit": true,
+    "cancel_previous": true,
+    "instructions": "Please assist the user.",
+    "modalities": ["text", "audio"],
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Next, we show a series of events from the server. You can await these events in your client code to handle the responses.
 
+```javascript
+for await (const message of client.messages()) {
+    console.log(JSON.stringify(message, null, 2));
+    if (message.type === "response.done" || message.type === "error") {
+        break;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The server responds with a [`response.created`](../realtime-audio-reference.md#realtimeservereventresponsecreated) event. 
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "response.created",
+  "event_id": "REDACTED",
+  "response": {
+    "object": "realtime.response",
+    "id": "REDACTED",
+    "status": "in_progress",
+    "status_details": null,
+    "output": [],
+    "usage": null
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The server might then send these intermediate events as it processes the response:
+
+- `response.output_item.added`
+- `conversation.item.created`
+- `response.content_part.added`
+- `response.audio_transcript.delta`
+- `response.audio_transcript.delta`
+- `response.audio_transcript.delta`
+- `response.audio_transcript.delta`
+- `response.audio_transcript.delta`
+- `response.audio.delta`
+- `response.audio.delta`
+- `response.audio_transcript.delta`
+- `response.audio.delta`
+- `response.audio_transcript.delta`
+- `response.audio_transcript.delta`
+- `response.audio_transcript.delta`
+- `response.audio.delta`
+- `response.audio.delta`
+- `response.audio.delta`
+- `response.audio.delta`
+- `response.audio.done`
+- `response.audio_transcript.done`
+- `response.content_part.done`
+- `response.output_item.done`
+- `response.done`
+
+You can see that multiple audio and text transcript deltas are sent as the server processes the response. 
+
+Eventually, the server sends a [`response.done`](../realtime-audio-reference.md#realtimeservereventresponsedone) event with the completed response. This event contains the audio transcript "Hello! How can I assist you today?" 
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "response.done",
+  "event_id": "REDACTED",
+  "response": {
+    "object": "realtime.response",
+    "id": "REDACTED",
+    "status": "completed",
+    "status_details": null,
+    "output": [
+      {

+        "role": "assistant",
+        "content": [
+          {
+            "type": "audio",
+            "transcript": "Hello! How can I assist you today?"
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    ],
+    "usage": {
+      "total_tokens": 82,
+      "input_tokens": 5,
+      "output_tokens": 77,
+      "input_token_details": {
